12-24-21 ‘Twas The Plight Before Christmas

‘Twas The Plight Before Christmas - By Steve Schmutzer - https://www.raptureready.com/2021/12/19/twas-the-plight-before-christmas-by-steve-schmutzer/ ‘Twas the plight before Christmas, and all through the House all of Congress was showing the brains of a mouse. COVID masks cluttered their desks without care; no photo ops meant they could simply stay there. Fraud and deception poured from the Feds as ‘Build Back Better’ danced in their heads. And Joe, with his prompter, was giving us laughs as he mumbled at random with his typical gaffes. On the floor, shutdowns became such a chatter, Aides sprang to their feet to assist in this matter. There in the chamber, scams swelled in a flash; they ripped logic apart and threw truth in the trash. Their talking points needed some polish to claim their tyrannical plans didn’t deserve any blame. When, what to discerning minds should appear, an incompetent Doctor the libs lauded so dear. With his pattern of lies, and since truth made him grouchy, I knew in a moment it must be “St. Fauci.” More dense than a rock, his supporters became, and he thrilled as he shouted some terms of his fame: “Now Virus! Now Delta! Now Mandate, Now Passport! On, Booster! On, Tracker! On, Vaccine and Distort! To globalist goals! To America’s fall! Now crush away! Crash away! Smash away all!” As the left’s agenda came hurtling through the air, the little ‘expert’ reveled in haughty grandeur there, So up to the House-top, the wicked plans flew, all chock full of lies which they all clearly knew. And then, in that moment, I sensed in my heart the timing and purpose of each little part. As I gathered myself and contained my despair, an image gained focus; I became more aware. A King on a horse, with crowns on His head, and his garment was stained a deep bloody red. He was coming for war, and His mouth had a sword, He was fierce in His anger, His wrath He had stored. His eyes – how they burned! His armies, they came! On His robe and His thigh, there was written a name. “King of kings, Lord of lords,” His identity clear, the leaders of earth quaked and trembled in fear. With the blade of His sword, He will conquer His foes, He will strike down the nations and save those He chose. Arrayed in fine linen, snow white at His side, His armies that followed were known as His Bride. He was regal and righteous, of glorious might, and He laughed as the wicked prepared for a fight. His rule will be just, and His reign will be strong, He will dash into pieces all those that were wrong. He’ll speak only a word, that’ll wrap up the fight, His fury abated, He’ll bring back what’s right. I returned my attention to the woes of these times, to the lawlessness, lies, and the folly and crimes. I have a real hope that burns bright in my being, It is coming for sure despite what we’re seeing. I therefore exclaim before we all lose our cheer, “Merry Christmas to all, Christ’s Coming is near!”

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
